Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she remains 'concerned' after Calgary councillors passed blanket rezoning on Tuesday.
Councillors voted 9-6 in favour of the amended rezoning bylaw, which will allow for more density in residential areas.The land-use amendment means the city will transition properties currently zoned as R-C1 districts – which only allow single-detached homes on them – to R-CG, which also allow for townhomes and duplexes.
"I don't quite know how this is going to turn out for the various members who voted the way they did. I've seen the polling of some on some of those ridings, just like anyone else has, but it does seem to me that that is an election about a year-and-a-half away, so I guess we will see whether or not there's widespread acceptance then."In total, the City of Calgary says 736 people spoke to council over 100 hours during public hearings on the issue.
